Neal Martin MW 89-91/100
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Thorey 1er Cru has a little reduction on the nose, though there seems to be attractive fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, sweet black cherries, crushed strawberry fruit and a slightly candied finish. Pretty.Drink 2024 - 2032Neil Martin, Vinous.com (November 2023)

Allen Meadows 90-92/100
An elegant, spicy and very pretty, even perfumed, nose is comprised by notes of spiced tea, earth, red and dark currant and a very subtle application of wood. The refined, vibrant and utterly delicious middleweight flavors exude evident minerality on the compact, youthfully austere and much better-balanced finale. Lovely and built-to-age.Drink 2034+allen_meadows, burghound_com (January 2024)

The 2022 Clos de Thorey includes the 2012 planting which is picked earlier than the older vines. Mid purple, with a reductive nose that is new since last week, says Sylvie, when this wine was a ball of fruit. It still is in the mouth, mind you, quite an explosion of raspberry and ripe redcurrant, with a very good fruit/acid balance to finish.Drink 2030 - 2038Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (November 2023)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
